This is my second Gevalia coffee maker. I like the cone type filters and that is why I bought another Gevalia. The price was right and it makes good coffee. It is necessary to use a little more coffee with this style of maker but it does make a rich flavored cup of joe. The drawbacks to this style are these; This is my second one because the first on only lasted six months. Sometimes you just get a lemon so I'm hopeful this on will last longer. If it doesn't, its the last one I will ever buy. Another problem with this style is that when you open the lid after brewing a pot water will run down the back and sides of the pot leaving a mess for you to clean up every time you make a pot. This problem could be inherent with this model and I wish I had went a few extra bucks for a different model just because of that. To sum up, it makes good coffee if it lasts and if you don't mind a little mess every time you make a pot.Read full review
The Gevalia Coffee Maker, the 12 Cup CM-500 is a decent coffee maker, with all the main functions you'll need in a good coffee maker. However, you'll have to become part of the Gevalia family to get the special deal on the coffee maker, unless buying from a seller that already is a member and is passing on JUST the coffee maker to you. In that case, you can't go wrong if the price is around $15.00 or less. I priced several coffee makers at a large discount store, all with the same or similar features. Since Gevalia requires that you become a member, at least in the beginning with 2 packs of coffee, the maker can end up costing more than you think. I bought into the free coffee maker from an ad in a magazine and promptly got my coffee maker and my 2 packs of coffee beans. The quality of the coffee was "Good", not "Excellent" and not "Poor", but average in the scale of the many coffee brands out there. Enjoy your new coffee maker, if you have one, but steer away from the free coffee maker unless you seriously want to get involved with a coffee club. You can cancel at any time, but forgetting to call them or write them will cause coffee to be sent to you on a very regular basis! Enjoy!Read full review
It is very easy use and clean. Few buttons to deal with so easy to program. A bit tall so not easy to use under a cabinet as it must be pulled out to fill with water and coffee. Very nice looking. I have bought Gevalia coffee makers in the past as well as many others but Gevalia is a great product.
I've been a Gevalia customer for years. I think their coffee is great and I like the fact that I can get a variety if I want to. Its a little pricey, but good quality in my opinion. I priced Jamaica Blue Mountain at a local store, and it wasn't much different. The first time I joined, back in the 90's, they sent a free coffee maker that worked great and lasted for years. However, I fell on some hard times for a while and canceled my membership. When I re-joined later through a promotion with a free coffee maker, I got the new one. It smelled so bad when making coffee that it stunk up the whole kitchen. I stopped using it and called Gevaila. They sent a new one, along with a half pound of Jamaica BM they forgot to ship. The second coffee maker is just as bad. Summary: Gevalia has a great product and fantastic customer service, but they need to fire the manufacturer of their junk Chinese coffee maker. C'mon, Gevalia. Get your act together before you start losing customers.Read full review
I think what people like best about the Gevalia coffee maker is that you can get it "free" for joining the Gevalia club. But having tried two of their coffee makers so far, I would say the appliances deserve an average rating. While the staineless steel 12-cup maker looks great, it has a few features that are somewhat annoying. First of all, the reservoir that you have to pour the water into is tiny and so unless you have a perfectly steady hand there's going to be water on your counter and all over the coffee maker! Secondly, the digital clock is very hard to read. You have to be at just the right angle to view the numbers. This was disappointing to me because I basically use my coffee pot as my kitchen clock. Finally, for the price of this machine you'd expect some extra features like perhaps a warmer feature or something, but it doesn't have anything that your average programmable pot from Walmart or Target has. So like the coffee Gevalia sells, the coffee makers are also "average to good" but vastly overpriced.Read full review
